Doris Lessing Rip

Doris Lessing is dead,
And she's not a feminist,
An uninhibited outspoken 
novelist,
She's also sociable and 
artistic.

Mind you she's no easy meat,
Won the Nobel Prize for a 
lifetime writing,
Passed away at the age of 
ninety four,
And her memories through 
her books will continue.


:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

A tribute to the lady who 
wrote the famous 'The Golden 
Notebook'
She left her family to for her 
work.
Novelist,poet and writer.

Beautiful tribute! Interesting how you've mentioned about her not being a feminist and gone to mention her outspokenness - there's been an explosion of the feminist debate lately and the perceptions of many are clearly distorted. You've painted a picture of a strong able writer all would benefit from reading. Well penned!
